"We wanted to show all the hard work manifested on the glamorous stage of BLACKPINK while also sharing the authentic, more original moments offstage that we didn't really get to share with the fans before,” Jennie said. <img alt='' src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2020-october/101420/blackpink-behind-the-scenes-2.jpg' >Photo credit to Netflix PhilippinesJisoo, on the other hand, said they got to learn more about each other while filming the documentary. “We started out on this project thinking that we want to show the more honest side of ourselves, the more genuine side of ourselves. Through having heart-to-heart and through very genuine and honest conversations, we were able to get to know each other even deeper and I think we realize just how much we mean to each other,” Jisoo said. <img alt='' src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2020-october/101420/blackpink-behind-the-scenes-3.jpg' >Photo credit to Netflix PhilippinesMeanwhile, Lisa said fans can also expect to see videos from their childhood days. “When we’re all together and we’re watching video clips of our childhood I felt that Rosé’s childhood was the most impressive. I hope that all the fans can have a look at that as well. Tomorrow needs to come very quickly (referring to the premiere of their Netflix documentary),” Lisa said. <img alt='' src='https://push-data.abs-cbn.com/dev/push/media/2020-october/101420/blackpink-behind-the-scenes-4.jpg' >Photo credit to Netflix PhilippinesWatch the trailer below: <iframe allow='accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture' allowfullscreen='' frameborder='0' height='480' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/7jx_vdvxWu0' width='1349'></iframe>Meanwhile, the director of the documentary — Korean-American filmmaker Caroline Suh said the girls’ agency — YG Entertainment — had archived footage that required the production team hundreds of hours to go through."We were lucky that YG had filmed so much of BLACKPINK during the training years, and before performances and backstage," she said.
